Matthew Perry to “Focus on Sobriety”


Matthew Perry, who has been struggling with substance abuse for years, told TMZ yesterday that he’s taking proactive steps toward recovery by taking a month-long break from acting.

In his statement to TMZ, the actor said, “I’m making plans to go away for a month to focus on my sobriety and to continue my life in recovery. Please enjoy making fun of me on the world wide web.”

Perry has been checked into rehab twice so far for his addiction to alcohol and prescription pills, in 1997 and then in 2001. According to Perry’s publicist, the 41-year-old former “Friends” star is taking a break but is not currently in rehab.

Hopefully, the break will help Perry stay on the right track. Good for him for taking time to care for his health!
